Marija has worked in South Africa for a NGO (GreenPop) focussing on planting trees in urban areas and educating people in the townships of South Africa on the importance of greenery. She has lived in Barcelona, Lisbon, Amsterdam and spent a summer volunteering in Oregon, USA.

Danny and Marija were the most amazing couple to have on our farm! Our only complaint is that the time came for them to leave! They were always friendly, positive, respectful, hard-working, innovative and fun! We ended up feeling like they were family. They easily understood all our procedures and asked if they were not sure about something - very… read more
